DISPLAY-FIXTURE FOR CHILDREN'S CRIBS.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed October 23, 1911.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, HARRY M. MANN- HEIMER and FRANK P. GREEN, citizens of the United States, and residents of St. Louis, Missouri, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Display-Fixtures for Childrens Cribs, of which the following is a specification containing a full, clear, and exact description, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part hereof.

Our invention relates to improvements in display fixtures for childrens cribs, and has for its object the construction of a fixture whereby one crib may be supported above another crib and the fixture is constructed in a manner to permit of the display of cribs one above the other regardless of the widths, lengths and heights of the different cribs.

\Vith the above purposes in view our invention consists in certain novel features of' construction and arrangement of parts as will be hereinafter more fully described, pointed out in the claims and illustrated by the accompanying drawings, in which 4 Figure 1 shows in elevation a crib having our improved display fixture applied thereto and in dotted lines shows a crib of a different size supported over the first mentioned crib; Fig. 2 is a perspective, partly in sect-ion, of one of our improved fixtures; and Fig. 3 is a detail plan of one of our improved fixtures.

Referring by numerals to the accompanying drawings: 1 designates the corner posts of the crib, 2 the rail seats, 3 the railsand et the casters, all of which are of ordinary construction and which form no part of our invention 5 designates the head of our improved display fixture. Secured to the underneath face of the head is a brace 6.

7 designates openings or depressions formed in the head in alinement lengthwise of the head.

8 designates a stem upon which the head 5 is pivotally supported.

9 designates a hook carried by the stem 8, one end of which is threaded and secured to the stem by being passed theret-hrough and held in place by a nut 10.

As shown the stem 8 has its lowermost end reduced to form a shoulder 11, the re- 13 designates a set screw carried by the tube 12 and arranged to impinge the reduced portion of the stem 8. By this means we obtain a vertical adjustment between the tube 12 and stem 8.

In practice the fixture is secured to each corner post of a crib by means of the hook 9 and nut so that a second crib may be displayed above the first mentioned crib for the economy of floor space.

The uppermost crib, if it be of the same length as the underneath crib, will have its casters in alinement with the holes or'depressions A. If the uppermost crib be longer or shorter than the lowermost crib its casters will be placed in one of the openings or depressions B.

In Fig. 1 we have illustrated in dotted lines the uppermost crib and the casters thereof placed in one of the openings B. If the crib be longer the heads 5 are swung to positions out-side of the lowermost crib.

In Fig. 3 we have illustrated indotted lines various positions which the head 5 may assume to accommodate cribs of different lengths as well as widths.

For the reason that the corner posts of cribs vary in height we provide the adjustment, namely the tube 12, the reduced portion of the stem 8 and the set screw 13 whereby the support for the head-5 may be adjusted for dilferent heights of cribs.

We claim:

1. In a display fixture of the class described, a support arranged to be detachably secured to a crib, and a head pivotally secured to said support and means whereby said head may be adjusted vertically relative to the support.

2. In adisplay fixture of the class described, a stem, means carried by said stem whereby it may be detachably secured to a crib, means for effecting a longitudinal adjustment of said stem, a head pivotally secured to said. stem, and a series of spaced apart caster seats in said head.

3. In a display fixture of the class described, a stem, means carried by said stem' for securing it to the corner posts of a crib, a tubular support for said stem, means for effecting a vertical adjustment of the stem relative said tubular support, a head pivotnames to this specification in presence of ally secured to said stem, a single caster seat two subscribing Witnesses. formed in the upper face of said head to one HARRY M.
